Would a prime Mosley beat a prime Mayweather Jr?

[nujabes77]

Yea beasty 33-0 with 30KO's all title defenses ended in KO's. Beat top 10 LWs at the time. Yea beasty...

Is it possible that weaksauce Shane could land just as much as lets say Agustus landed against Floyd? Is it also possible that Shane was faster and hit harder than Agustus at 135? Is it possible that Shane was a better body puncher and more explosive than Agustus was at 135? And, Floyd has said that is the toughest fight of his career right?

Is it possible again that Shane was faster and stronger than Castillo was at 135? Is it possible that he had more power than Castillo at 135? If this 3 fights at 135 were 3 of Floyd toughest fights in his career. Could it be possible that Shane at 135 could beat him?

Because, it seems to me like some people are judging the fight from what they saw from Shane at 147 and 154. At 135 he was a totally differenat animal. Just like how Floyd was totally different at 130 than what he is at 147.

dont even bother breaking down the fight... since it would never have happened in the first place

Prime Mayweather has top 5-10 all time great talent. He beats Shane. 135 being a pretty close fight though.

Or will Mosley always loose because he sometimes throws wide shots and gets countered with jabs and straights from fighters like Wright, Cotto, and Forrest.

I'm not sure. Mosley has had trouble with guys that were bigger and that had a jab. Mayweather isn't really bigger and he isn't known to have a jab like DLH, Winky, Forrest. But I would have to lean Mayweather regardless

Shane fights nothing like those guys, he's not unorthodox like Augustus and his inside game is nowhere near Castillo's. Plus, Augustus had about 10 or so losses going in so it's possible he got underestimated by Team Mayweather.

At that point, Floyd would deliver in his biggest fights, just saying.

Augustus actually had 16 losses when he fought Mayweather, who was hit far more in this fight than in any other. Mosley was a killer at 135, dazzlingly fast, with a KO punch in either hand, I don't see how he could NOT overwhelm Mayweather at that weight and level.

He won all his defences by KO I think, punching too fast to see almost, and carried his KO punch right into the 12th round. Mayweather, although stylish and with flair, is really nothing special, that is, if you pay no attention to his shameless bragging and self promotion.

NO..Shane has more a chance now at 147..the hungry quicker Floyd would box circles On Mosley..I think now Mosley is alot more smarter..and Floyd isnt as quick..so it evens it out..

great post.... you know some things bruh

[pasawayako]

lol this figth is a mismatch in favor of shane mosley.

[Doctor_Tenma]

If Mayweather faced the same opposition Mosley did at 135; he would have looked almost as impressive. Mosley didn't beat anyone at 135. Anyway, prime Mayweather vs. Mosley could go either way at 147. At 135, I'd pick Floyd.

[tesla_power]

Undecided. IMO prime Pbf is more easy to hit than today's version. He was much more offensive minded that he took risk in placing his combos.. Have the advantage in lateral movement.Mosley's prime would mean shear athleticism, KO power in both hands, possible advantage in handspeed.

For sure, Floyd will outbox him. But he will get hit during exchanges. I'm not sure how will Floyd react to a flush shot from a prime Mosley. If he could, he would probably win a close UD.

Prime Mosley against potshotting Floyd ... IMO, Floyd would coast to a comfortable win.
